FAMILY PARTY which is being held in the them show your appreciation of their unselfish efforts. And let your donation be guided by your own heart. Deepest sympathy of the dis- trict is extended to Mrs. W. J. J. Robinson and Mr. Joseph Robinson in their sad bereavement of hus- band and father. The late Mr. Robinson was one of Thornlea’s oldest residents until his retire- ment nine years ago, when he took up residence in Thornhill village. As a lad he was raised in Thorn- lea, and attended the school, and later on in years, became one of its trustees, which office he held for many years. He also was one of Thornlea’s successful farmers, having farmed on the land which his son Joseph now farms. Al- ways interested in church work, Mr. Robinson’s memory will be revered ‘in Trinity Church, Thorn- hill. Mrs. J. Curtis gave a birthday party for her son Howard when he celebrated his ninth birthday pals attended. Howard was sorry that some he had invited were un- able to go because of sickness. Miss Dorothy Gribble and Mrs. Gribble visited Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Broadfoot of Woodbrdge on Sun- day. It was Mrs. Mary Lou Hood who attended the shower held at the home of Mrs. Fox, and not Mary Lou Head. Sorry.

Reeve John Hosuraw- ser said that he would discuss this further with the Toronto and :ork Roads Commission. The existing agreement betWeen the Village of Maple and the town- ship covering Maple fire truck was considered satisfactory and Town- ship Clerk J. M. McDonald was in- structed to prepare a new agreeâ€" ment. Purchase of an additional 4-00 feet of hose was approved. Parking of vehicles within 35 feet of the four corners on Maple’s main street is to be prohibited, Vaughan Township Council deuded at a recent meeting after the pro- perty owners and Village Trustees had been consulted. He stated that a gravel walk would be constructed along the easu side of Yonge Street from Steele"s Avenue to the south limits 01’ Thornhill, with Markham and Vaughan Townships paying 25 per cent of the cost and the Depart- ment of Highways putting up the balance.

Mrs. Snively is calling her talk on Tuesday, “From Ancient Egypt to Modern England.” The Evening Guild has asked Mrs. Snively to speak at St. Ma- ry’s Anglican Parish Hall on Tues- day March 20. “It was really Spring all the way” she said of her trip, as they sailed from New York in February on the S.

Snive- 1y of Oak Ridges set off on their trip to Europe, Mrs. Snively had no idea that Richmond Hill would be waiting to hear her account of that trip. “The insurance companies should be interested too,” said Councillor Middleton in the course of a dis- cussion which led to a decision to have the Village Clerk take the matter up with the Bell Telephone Company. Although dials are not expected to be in operation until early 1952 it was, he said, his duty to advise council of the situation which would be created in order that action could be taken. He said that he felt that Vaughan and Markham Townships, large parts of which are served by the Rich- mond Hill brigade, should be in- terested also.

Dial Phones Pose Problem Fire Chief Tells Councillors Earlier in its meeting counculors discussed the desirability of re- taining the Township Planning Board to assist and advise in mat- ters relating to the development of the township. It was agreed to discuss the matter further with re- maining members of the Planning Board.

Included among them are local businesses which did not exhibit last year but which have determined to be in time for space reservations this year. Judging by the requests which have already been made it looks as if display space will be at a prem- ium again. However, the director- ate is considerng plans which will The games began at 10 in the morning and ended at 4. Fifteen games in all were played, many of them hard fought with the fol- lowing championship results: The Senior Boys league was won by Richvale, the Junior Boys by Lang- staff, the Pee Wee Boys by Rich- vale, and the Girls, a new league this year, by Thornhill. Trade Fair Dates June 15 & 16 The timekeeper was Mr. Earle Richards and the recorder Miss Sybbald of Richvale School. Goal judges were Lions Percy Pool and Fred Morris, and the referees inâ€" cluded Mr. D. Smith of Langstafl', Mr. R. Everist of Richvale and Rev. E. E. Kent. The Inter-school Hockey Playoffs were held at Unionville Arena, on Wednesday, March 7, 1951. The Thornhill District Lions Club spon~ sored the annual event and the Area School Board hired buses to transport the 13 teams, 195 players and their coaches for the Round Robin series. Banking reported that “Hundreds of campaigns were represented by the entires. National, state savings banks and trust companies sent us samples of the stories they told This is the first time this dis- tinction has been won ‘by a Can~ adian chartered bank. Sélected ad- vertisements from The Commerce 1950 program were reprinted in the March issue of Banking along with those of nine United States banks. School Hockey Piayoffs Staged The Canadian Bank of Commerce has been awarded top honors by Banking, the magazine of the Am- erican Bankers Association, for “outstanding use of advertising methods” in 1950. Bank of Commerce Advertising Awarded Top 1950 Honours- First Canadian Win The owner of this vehicle being towed into a, Highways Department garage now knows that there are severe penalties for those who ignore suspension orders of their drivers’ licenses or permits. His privilege to drive had been revoked because of improper conduct and he was subsequently apprehended while driving‘ his car. The permit for the car was under suspension and the car was therefore “forfeited to the Crown." Later, it will be sold. The list of violations that can put a. driver off the roads was greatly lengthened by amendments to the Highway Traffic Act in- troduced three years ago tr High- way Minister Hon. Geo. H. Doucett. They include offences such as speed- ing. improper turning, failure to signal, or failure to stop at through streets, or observe the rules of right of way, if involved in acci- dents. Further amendments passed just last year doubled the‘statutory periods of suspension on conviction of drunk driving for any case where Injury or damage resulted. There is no escape from these No Escape From Law For Traffic Offenders As 16,000 Motorists Find Out In 1951 Several of the _more serious of- tences bring loss of driving privi- leges under any circumstances. But whenever the ofience involves in- jury to persons or property damage it results in at least temporary suspension. Convicted careless and drunken drivers head the list of people re- moved from the roads for varying periods under Ontario’s expanding program of license and permit sus- pension. 16,000 drivers who broke the traffic laws lost their rihit to drive last year, compared with l3,000 for Ontario in 1949. Many an unthinking motorist is finding himself denied the seasonal privilege of replacing his old vehicle number plates with shiny new 1951 markers. If his permit has been suspended, for any one of a. number of reasons connected with making highway traffic safer, he won’t have any old 1950 plates to take off. and is liable to fine and imprisonment if he applies for new ones. More Off Roads Boost Penalties escape from these provide adaitional accommodation and which, as well, will allow for the holding of the flower show and arts and crafts display which are projected features for the 1951 event. In the Junior play-offs at the end of the regulation time, Rich- vale and Langstafl’ were tied in points and five minutes overtime was played. The system of scor- ing was 2'points for a win and 1 for a draw. With 15 games to be played, because of the time limit, thegames _were confined to one full period each. The Langstaff goalie Peter LeMaurier was hurt in the Senior game against Thornlea and four stitches were required to close a cut near the right eye. Dates for the fair have been set as Friday and Saturday, June 15 and 16 -â€"â€" the equivalent Frlday and Saturday to last year.

Considerable comment resulted last fall from a Commerce series in which short stories by Canadian artists were printed in double- pag‘e magazine spreads. The ad- vertisements said only: “Pu'blishea by The Canadian Bank of Comm- erce because we like it. “The prize- winning campaign featured, in add- ition, special advertisements for farmers, women, small-town daily and weekly newspapers and United States and Canadian business pu'b- Iications. their publics during the past year.

The length of time they are kept off the roads varies depending on the offence, but in no case is a new permit ever granted until the of- fender has filed proof of financial responsibility. Enforcement Certain Daddy may want to do some tall explaining to the family about mls visit from the Ontario Provincial Police who have come to get the number plates off his car. A suspension order from the Registrar of Motor Vehicles has been ignored: driver's license, owner’s permit and plates have not been surrendered on request by mail. Now the law arrives in person to see that justice is carried out and the public protected. And the boys looking on can take a lesson from what happensâ€"no drives in the family car for quite a while. Perhaps when they start driving them- selves they‘ll know how serious is the responsibility that goes with the privilege of using Ontario roads.

If a. permit is under sus- pension and someone operates the vehicle, the vehicle itself must be forfeited to the Crown. These penalties are intended to protect law abiding motorists from harm at the hands of others. Laws of this type are being adopted by more and more states and provinces.
